Software Reviews and Criticism

  Too simple...

  I am 10 years old. I installed this app because it was a cheap paint program and the Windows doesn't come with a paint program. Upon opening it I was surprised by it's simplicity, because sometimes that's good, and sometimes that's bad. PROS: 1. Simple interface, no learning required 2. Very like drawing on paper: No eraser and no straight boxes. CONS: 1. Interface is WAY too simple. Needs eraser, and much more and better tools 2. Not too many brush sizes 3. We are still on Snow Leopard, and when we tried to download the update it's for Lion only. The update looks slightly better, but I don't care, except we had to take the App Store icon off our dock when that annoying message pops up that says you have an update. (The little red circle.) I wish App Store would recognize we can't download the update and stop doing that. If you want a paint program where you... paint, this is for you. If you want a paint program where you create good images, you should save your $2.00. Overall, I am looking for something more like Microsoft Paint, which was FREE, contain WAY more tools than this, and has photo-editing power. I like the interface and the simplicity and think this app has good potential if they give it a good few well-needed updates. If you are under 12, save your $2.00.

  Could be better

  This app is ok. I need a dirty white board so this will do. It would be better if there was full screeen support. Just contacted the developer and they said they will do it in the next iteration.

  not so great!

  I was hoping for more of the traditional paint application that you used to use on your PC, but didn't quite get that. I knew it was too good to be true, only has a color icons and different pen thickness, NO ERASER, NO UNDO, NOTHING ELSE. Literally thats it. I guess it would be great for a kid but if you mess up which is very easy to do on these then you would just have to start over. Hopefully they will make some improvements to atleast be able to crop, erase, undo, etc. I was going to give two stars but since to be fair the description clearly states what the app has then I guess it earns another star, BUT STILL, needs some improvements!

  VERY LIMITED

  Thought you would be able to import pictures-- you can't. You really just have 9 colors to click on and you can change the size of your marker. There is no menu bar and no eraser as far as I can tell.
